內容簡介：
Venture capitalists are the handmaidens of innovation.
Operating in the background, they provide the fuel needed to get
fledgling companies off the ground--and the advice and guidance
that helps growing companies survive their adolescence.
In Creative Capital, Spencer Ante tells the compelling story
of the enigmatic and quirky man--Georges Doriot--who created the
venture capital industry. The author traces the pivotal events in
Doriot''s life, including his experience as a decorated brigadier
general during World War II; as a maverick professor at Harvard
Business School; and as the architect and founder of the first
venture capital firm, American Research and Development. It
artfully chronicles Doriot''s business philosophy and his
stewardship in startups, such as the important role he played in
the formation of Digital Equipment Corporation and many other new
companies that later grew to be influential and successful.
An award-winning Business Week journalist, Ante gives us a
rare look at a man who overturned conventional wisdom by proving
that there is big money to be made by investing in small and risky
businesses. This vivid portrait of Georges Doriot reveals the
rewards that come from relentlessly pursuing what-if
possibilities--and offers valuable lessons for business managers
and investors alike.
